[OT] PHP for ASP programmers

From

Hi:

   Does any one know of sites that show equivalent PHP
function for their ASP counterparts? I've tried
searching google but I could not find any.

   How does one "redirect" in PHP. I've use
combination of echo and META tags, but I'm not sure if
this is the standard practice for PHP programmers.

Thank you very much,
ludwig.

I don't know about ASP -> PHP, sorry.

I redirect in PHP as:

header( "Location: http://some.other.website/page" );


I had to abuse one of our younger programmers recently for using
redirects as if they were GOTO's - I sincerely hope you're not going to
do that with it :-)

Cheers,
                    Andrew.

Don't know about this.

I use:
header("Location: script.php"); // Before any output to the page or it will
give "headers already sent" error.
Check the docs.

remember that u can have nothing exported (not even a space) to the web browser or u will get an error "header already
send".

if u need to redirect after sending some thing to the browser i use (don't know any other way) javascript

window.location.href('<url>');

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
    (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

  Try using ASP2PHP with lists of ASP function names - that should help
  a bit. See http://asp2php.naken.cc/

Using a meta-refresh header in html to do redirection isn't a good idea. The
correct way is to use a location header in the response and an appropiate
response code (indication if the redirection is temporary or permanent).

Not really documentation but I suppose you could run asp2php (search for it
on freshmeat.net) and look at the converted output.
